Minot Mallards vs. Manchester Mills

One year ago the Minot Mallards won a promotion/relegation series to move from League B to League A, and this year the Mallards will get the opportunity to advance to the Premier League. If pitching and defense win games the Mallards enter the series as the heavy favorites, having the best pitching and defense in League A. The Mallards rotation features Sylvester Loucks (22-11, 1.71), Christy Mathewson (22-12, 2.21), Bill Hill (19-14, 2.17), and Len Swormstedt (22-13, 2.91).

The Mallards will certainly need as much pitching as they can get, because their offense is the worst in the league. They will be taking on a Manchester team that lost 112 games. Bob Miller had one of the worst years imaginable going 4-35 with a 6.05 ERA. Newcomer Hal Chase hit just .218 in his rookie year.

Game 1

After losing 26 games for Manchester this season Gussie Gannon delivered a complete game 8 hitter while allowing 2 unearned runs and striking out 6 to give the Mills a 4-2 win. John Nauman drove in a pair of runs, with rookie Hal Chase and Gannon driving in a run.

Game 2

The Mallards evened up the series after scoring 5 runs in the first three innings with Len Swormstedt picking up the win. Adam Olivier tripled and drove in two runs for the Mallards.

Game 3

It was Sylvester Loucks turn to pitch the Mallards to victory after allowing 2 runs on 8 hits while striking out 7. Loucks was one of three players to drive in 2 runs with Joel Greeley and Truck Eagan the other Mallards driving in two in their 10-2 win.

Game 4

It looked like the Mills would even up the series after leading 5-4 while heading into the ninth inning, but it was Bert Cunningham drawing a pinch hit walk to lead off the ninth, and Sam Crawford hitting a two run homer to give the Mallards the 6-5 win to capture the series. Christy Mathewson picked up the win for the Mallards with 8 innings while allowing 6 hits, 5 runs, walking one, and striking out 7. It would be yesterday's starter Sylvester Loucks who would come on to pitch the ninth innings to ensure the Mallards victory.
